#50 What Billionaire Investors Look to Spot Winners | Brian Goldstein & Makan Mostafavi

25 Nov 2025

Description

What does a special education student who refused to work for anyone and a 19-year-old facing three lawsuits on his first real estate deal have in common? They both understood early on that traditional paths weren’t built for them. Brian Goldstein’s defiant moment in freshman English, standing up to a teacher who told special education students they’d have to work for others, mirrors Makan Mostafavi’s baptism by fire when his first property investment immediately imploded with seller litigation, a fallen tree, and insurance battles. If you’ve ever felt like the conventional path doesn’t fit, these stories will remind you that your obstacles might be your greatest competitive advantage.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Listen to the "Truth Hurts Show" on all your favorite platforms!
